To gain an understanding of physiotherapy practice in relation to executive dysfunction (ED) post-stroke.
Three focus groups were conducted using semi-structured interview schedules to highlight how ED post-stroke was understood by 12 physiotherapists with greater than 1 year of experience working in the area of stroke care. The focus group data were analysed using qualitative data analysis.
The themes extracted from the data on physiotherapists' self-reported knowledge of ED post-stroke were: physiotherapists' lack of knowledge of ED post-stroke; current physiotherapy practice regarding ED post-stroke; the negative impact of ED on physiotherapy rehabilitation post-stroke and the future learning needs of physiotherapists regarding ED post-stroke.
Current results demonstrate that ED has negative implications for physiotherapy rehabilitation post-stroke. Although further interdisciplinary research is warranted, the present results suggest that physiotherapists should be aware of the presence of ED in people post-stroke and develop strategies to minimise the impact of ED on physiotherapy rehabilitation. Implications for Rehabilitation Physiotherapists report a lack of knowledge of ED post-stroke and a requirement for future learning and training regarding the optimal management of people with ED undergoing physiotherapy rehabilitation post-stroke. ED has negative implications for physiotherapy rehabilitation post-stroke and physiotherapists should be aware of the presence of ED in people post-stroke and develop strategies to minimise the impact of ED on physiotherapy rehabilitation.
了解与中风后执行功能障碍（ED）相关的物理治疗实践。
采用半结构化访谈提纲进行了三个焦点小组讨论，以突出12名在中风护理领域有超过1年工作经验的物理治疗师对中风后ED的理解。使用定性数据分析焦点小组数据。
从关于物理治疗师对中风后ED的自我报告知识的数据中提取的主题有：物理治疗师对中风后ED缺乏了解；当前关于中风后ED的物理治疗实践；ED对中风后物理治疗康复的负面影响以及物理治疗师对中风后ED的未来学习需求。
目前的结果表明，ED对中风后物理治疗康复有负面影响。尽管有必要进行进一步的跨学科研究，但目前的结果表明，物理治疗师应意识到中风患者中存在ED，并制定策略以尽量减少ED对物理治疗康复的影响。对康复的启示物理治疗师报告缺乏对中风后ED的了解，以及对中风后接受物理治疗康复的ED患者的最佳管理进行未来学习和培训的需求。ED对中风后物理治疗康复有负面影响，物理治疗师应意识到中风患者中存在ED，并制定策略以尽量减少ED对物理治疗康复的影响。
